o aaja panchhee akela hai
o so ja nindiya kee bela hai
o so ja nindiya kee bela hai
o aaja panchhee akela hai

ud gayee nind yaha mere nain se
bas karo yu hee pade raho chain se
bas karo yu hee pade raho chain se
lage re dar mohe lage re
o yeh kya darane kee bela hai
o aaja panchhee akela hai

o ho kitanee ghutee see hai ye fija
aa ha kitanee suhaanee hai ye hava
o ho kitanee ghutee see hai ye fija
aa ha kitanee suhaanee hai ye hava
mar gaye ham nikala dam mar gaye ham
mausam kitana albela hai
o aaja panchhee akela hai

bin tere kaisee andheree yeh raat hai
dil meraa dhadakan meree tere saath hai
bin tere kaisee andheree yeh raat hai
dil meraa dhadakan meree tere saath hai
tanaha hai phir bhee dil tanha hai
laga sapano kaa mela hai
o aaja panchhee akela hai

Oh, come, bird, alone you roam,
Oh, sleep now, the hour of slumber's home.
Oh, sleep now, the hour of slumber's home,
Oh, come, bird, alone you roam.

Sleep has flown from my eyes,
Rest now, in peace, arise.
Rest now, in peace, arise,
Fear grips me, yes, fear grips me,
Oh, what a fearful dome.
Oh, come, bird, alone you roam.

Oh, how stifling this atmosphere,
Ah, how lovely, the air is clear.
Oh, how stifling this atmosphere,
Ah, how lovely, the air is clear.
We die, alas, breath departs, we die,
The season, how it has overcome.
Oh, come, bird, alone you roam.

Without you, how dark this night,
My heart, my pulse, with you in sight.
Without you, how dark this night,
My heart, my pulse, with you in sight.
Lonely, yet the heart feels alone,
Dreams, a festival, have become.
Oh, come, bird, alone you roam.
